“What’s in a name?” We’d ask Toshiba, but the company hasn’t been able to give its upcoming 10.1-inch Honeycomb tablet one in five months — or has it? If you’ll recall, Toshiba registered the name Thrive for trademark and related domain names last month, and now evidence is mounting that all of that work wasn’t in vain. TabletCommunity learned days ago that a commercial for the device was in production via some chatty actors on Twitter; soon after, the site also uncovered a parking page for the slate on Toshiba’s website, albeit with little more than the aforesaid name categorized under “Tablets.” It’s a welcome update in light of the vapid titles “Antares” and “ANT300” that had also seemed possible, and once word spills of US pricing and availability, perhaps we can focus on more pressing matters… you know, like benchmarks.

There’s just something about the phrase “built to strict U.S. military standards” that makes us want to go positively medieval on a rugged device. Sadly, the aforementioned qualifier doesn’t mean that Clickfree’s new C2 Rugged Back-up Drive is capable of withstanding, say, a hail of gunfire, but the rubberized disk will continue to work after being dropped from four feet. The peripheral also features the company’s Easy Run software, which will start automatically backing up your PC when you’re done showing that storage device who’s boss. The 500GB C2 is available now through Clickfree’s site for $140 — or $100, if you’re one of the lucky 100 first people to buy, so maybe buy two, in case you go a little overboard.

Bookeen has already taunted us with an E Ink Pearl display hacked to playback clips of chubby bunnies without so much as a hiccup, now it’s showing off web browsing and scrolling on the same screen. It’s a little stuttery, as you can see in the video below, but considering this is the same tech found in the Kindle it’s quite impressive. The trick is accomplished using custom software and off the shelf hardware — in other words, nothing terribly fancy. So, while we sit here letting out exasperated sighs with every digital page turn, we’ll just keep hoping Bookeen gets this in something we can buy soon.

If you are a Google power user then you already know all of the keyboard shortcuts so that you can get things done quickly. However, for those of us who have never investigated to find the shortcuts then this is the page for you. Smallwire has put together a nice list of keyboard shortcuts for all of the Google applications that have been released.
The reason it is so nice is because they sorted it by application, so all you have to do is look for the Google services that you use and see how you can become more productive. They provide shortcuts for GMail, Calendar, Reader, Writely, Video, and Maps. I think that covers all of the popular Google services.

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget inquiry is coming to us from Chuck, who seems to be having an unusual level of difficulty getting his phone through an entire day on a single charge. If you’re looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.
“I have the HTC Evo, which has terrible battery life. I’ve gone through many steps, including rooting it and using SetCPU, however I’m still not getting as much out of it as I would like. I am looking to buy an extended battery, but after researching them I have found prices and reviews to be all over the map. What brand / model has the best results? Thanks!”
So, superphone users — which USB battery pack serves you best? Feel free to toss out Evo-specific solutions, but universal ones could help the masses. And it feels good to help the masses.

Looking for a handset that harkens back to simpler, pre-smartphone era, without losing the Googley luster of Android? We’ve got the perfect phone for you, and all you’ve got to do is move to Japan and get a Softbank Mobile account. Sharp, one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in its native country, rolled out the retro-future Gingerbread-packing Aquos Phone Hybrid 007SH, an Android 2.3 flip phone with a 180-degree swiveling touchscreen above the hinge and a numeric dial pad below that all the cool kids in Shibuya crave. It’s also got some pretty solid specs, so far are clamshell phones go, including a 16MP camera and a 3D-capable display. The handset will hit Softbank in mid-June followed shortly by Sharp’s rotary Honeycomb tablet.
